Participant Information Sheet and Consent Form Template

Section 2.2 of the National Statement Seeking and giving consent provides guidance on providing information to participants as part of the consenting process. Consent should be a voluntary choice, and should be based on sufficient information and adequate understanding of both the proposed research and the implications of participation in it. What is needed to satisfy these conditions depends on the nature of the project, and may be affected by the requirements of the codes, laws, ethics and cultural sensitivities of the community in which the research is to be conducted.
